It was not without a lot of trepidation that I made my
way to High Park on Saturday morning.
The weather forecast was dire and I had 21 km (hello Scotia half) to
walk. And there at 8 am, were three
other stalwart souls. It's a busy time
of year and our walkers are scattered all over the place so it wasn't
surprising that so few of us could make it there that morning. And walk we did, through rain (not that much
thankfully), wind (why is it always a head wind?) and fog (the city buildings
were hardly visible, draped in mist) and walked our required distance with
great fortitude, if I may say so myself!
And I thought about fortitude (definition: "courage
in pain or adversity"); each of us is coping with difficult things, both
physically and emotionally, as we live and I like to think about how we support
each other through the days.
There is something called "quantum
entanglement" in quantum physics and it means (and believe me, I am paraphrasing)
that change in the particles of one substance effect change in the particles of
another substance, no matter how far
away they are from each other. I believe we TPW's are "entangled" in
each others' lives and we are so much the better for it.
It is Rosh Hashhanna - happy new year, everyone.
